NY Times: “This a presidency that celebrates nastiness and spite, not empathy or grace, a reflection, perhaps, of a coarser era in American life.”

Can we not see what is happening here? C’mon, my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny.
This is way beneath the stature of the job. It’s downright weird. It’s obsessive in a weird way.

The $1,776 Checks for Troops Trump Claimed Were ‘Because of Tariffs’ Are Actually Congressionally-Allocated Housing Allowances
He takes every opportunity to twist things to his favor. That’s why you have to check him on everything.

I went line by line through the transcript of Donald Trump's primetime speech.
It was the same speech he always gives -- just with a whole lot less asides. And it was riddled with falsehoods.

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

There are only 2 ways to understand that speech:
1. He's lying to us. In which case he needs to be removed. Or,
2. He believes what he's saying. In which case he needs to be removed.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.
